GPIS Farewell - Dr. Jan Joel Andersson Dear GPIS Community, I wanted to let you know that I will be leaving GPIS and Old Dominion University at the end of June. I have accepted a position in Paris at the European Union Institute for Security Studies working on European security and defense policy. This was an offer I could not refuse. I have been here for three terrific years as The Dragas Distinguished Visiting Professor, but, as you all know, a visitor can’t stay forever! I have truly enjoyed working with you all, both in classes and outside of them. I have learned a lot during my time at ODU and have really appreciated (almost) every day here. During one of her research trips to Stockholm several years back, Dr. Regina Karp suggested that I think about coming over to Norfolk to spend a year at GPIS as a visiting professor. A few years later, my family and I landed in Norfolk—in August. It was hot; it was humid, and the air literally vibrated with mosquitos. And then there was an earthquake. And the earthquake was followed by Hurricane Irene. We got the full Norfolk experience, in other words…and we wanted more! By the time Superstorm Sandy rolled around a year later, we were as blasé about it as our long-time Norfolk neighbors. This, too, shall pass. It’s been a very eventful few years here at GPIS, including several important conferences as part of the ACCESS EU- project under the leadership of Dr. Karp and the opportunity to teach several classes for GPIS students, such as The EU as a Foreign Policy Actor, Small States and International Relations, and Business & Global Governance. I very much enjoyed teaching these classes and interacting with GPIS students, many of whom will go on to do great things. In closing, I would like to thank the Director of GPIS, Dr. Regina Karp, for having made my stay here possible. You have been a wonderful and caring host in every way imaginable. I would also like to thank the Chairman of the Political Science and Geography Department, Dr. Francis Adams, for generously inviting me to participate in department events, making me feel very welcome, and securing an office space for me during my stay at ODU. All the best, Jan Joel Andersson

Important Information Alert Corner! Important Information for Students 1. Please remember that you are required to visit the ODU Writing Center at least once during your first semester in GPIS. You may contact the WC to make an appointment by calling 757-683-4013. Their appointments are booked up about a week in advance, so take this into consideration. 2. Old Dominion University has a policy of training all graduate students in the fundamentals of Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR). This policy was adopted with the understanding that the knowledge and philosophy presented in the RCR training can enhance the professional development of all students, regardless of discipline. All graduate students must complete the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) seven core RCR training modules. These modules address the following: Misconduct (falsification, fabrication and plagiarism); Data acquisition, management, sharing and ownership; mentor/trainee relationship; Publication practices and responsible authorship; Peer review; Conflicts of interest; and, Collaborative research. Completion of the RCR modules will be tracked through the CITI website and must be completed within twelve months after first enrolling. Several GPIS students have not completed this training. For directions on how to complete the mandatory training, please visit: http://ww2.odu.edu/ao/research/compliance/ResponsibleConductofRes_CITI_RCR_registration_instr.pdf. 3. As discussed during orientation, it is important for you to start thinking about how you plan on fulfilling the foreign language requirement of GPIS. All graduate students are expected to submit a written plan by the end of their first semester of their graduate study at ODU to the Assistant Director, Dr. Matthew Hall. The plan should clearly state how s/ he would work to achieve the required language proficiency level. For more information about the foreign language requirement, please visit http://al.odu.edu/gpis/ForeignLanguageReq.shtml. 4. Students planning on graduating must be registered for at least one credit hour (IS 999) during the semester of graduation. 5. GPIS Students: if you are not receiving Ph.D./MA departmental e-mails, you may subscribe to the listserve here for MA students: http://list.odu.edu/mailman/listinfo/gpis-ma, or here for Ph.D. students: http://list.odu.edu/mailman/listinfo/gpis-phd. 6. Students writing a thesis or dissertation must attend the thesis/dissertation writing workshop in order to graduate. 7. Doctoral Students After Passing Candidacy Examination are required to be registered for at least one graduate credit hour each term (Fall, Spring, and Summer) until the degree is completed, including the semester in which they graduate. Failure to comply with this requirement will result in charges to the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s account for one graduate credit hour plus required fees, for each semester after passing the candidacy examination. Students are not eligible for graduation until all charges are paid. 10. The Ph.D. comprehensive exams will take place August 15th and 18th.

Upcoming Events The Graduate Programs in International Studies Dissertation Defense Weak Links in a Dangerously Fractured Region: Fragile States as Global Threats Tasawar Baig In the post-9/11 period a common belief emerged that fragile states are launching pads for unprecedented and unconventional transnational threats. The rise of state fragility or state failure as a paradigm surfaced after the end of the Cold War, but their high risk factor was noticed only later. This is because increased interconnectedness allows information to spread faster and intensifies threat perceptions. This study recognizes that the idea of weak states, small states, and political decay existed before, and that the notion of state fragility has been widely used in recent years. The conventional wisdom about political decay refers to the ineffectiveness of institutions and corrupt governance structures which enfeeble the state, and which is similar to the current literature focused on domestic factors. To understand the fragility of statehood, the study answers the following research question: “Under what conditions do weak and fragile states continue to fail?” The analysis explores two core factors: endogenous and exogenous. The academic literature primarily focuses on endogenous factors, mainly political, security, economic, and social performance of states, to determine state capacity and capabilities. However, this study adds geography, or geopolitics, as an exogenous factor causing state fragility in many cases. Therefore, the study suggests a new category, “weak pivot states” in which fragility is not only the outcome of domestic factors but is also due to its geography and position as a “pivot.” The evidence suggests that the impact factor of “weak pivot states” is higher than other weak and fragile states, as they are more susceptible to great power struggles. As “weak pivot states” sit at the crossroads of major and regional powers’ interests, one of the findings of this dissertation demonstrates that major powers have often supported undemocratic forces, with centralized authoritarian regimes benefiting the interests of a hegemon. The reduction of the threat level requires the provision of stability and the implementation of an effective political order. The findings suggest that fragile states need to reorient their constitutions and laws so as to create opportunity of equality and inclusiveness to its populations. In addition, the dissertation recommends the creation of “spheres of socialization” at intra-state and inter-state level that will allow education for democracy towards state building and establishing accountable political systems instead of interventions in weak and fragile states; and also facilitate an integration process at subregional, regional and then global level to tackle the burden of geography respectively.

GPIS Program Milestones This back page is a one-stop permanent location addressing requirements of which all GPIS students must be aware. While we make every effort to provide information to students in a timely and efficient manner, it is your responsibility to make sure you are aware of and meeting all requirements and deadlines. In support of this goal, you have at your access multiple useful resources, including this page, the rest of the weekly GPIS Bulletins, the GPIS website, the GSIS Facebook page and your DegreeWorks account, which is a web-based academic advising tool accessible via MIDAS. Any unanswered questions regarding deadlines, processes and requirements may be directed to the Assistant Director, Dr. Matthew Hall (mhall@odu.edu, 7046 BAL). Questions about the Foreign Language Requirement must be addressed to Dr. Angelica Huizar via email, ahuizar@ odu.edu. Academic Advising: Students should arrange to meet with their advisors at least once per semester but are encouraged to do so more often. Every student account has an advisor hold that prevents you from registering for classes for the next semester until you have been advised and your advisor has removed this hold. GPIS has a spring and fall advising period which is published in the Bulletin. Comprehensive Exams: Students must meet with the Assistant Director prior to taking comprehensive exams to certify that they have met all pre-comps requirements. MA thesis students must also meet with him to certify that they can graduate. Students should bring an upto-date Advising Form with them to the meeting. The GPIS webpages on comprehensive exams (MA and PhD) are a great resource. Additionally, Dr. Karp holds a mandatory comprehensive exam prep session once before every examination. The dates for these will be published in the Bulletin. After comps, PhD students must remain registered until graduation with at least one credit hour, either a dissertation credit or, if those have been exhausted, with a one credit hour IS 999 for every semester: fall, spring, and summer. MA students need only be registered during the semester they plan to graduate. Funding for Fulbright Students: Fulbright students must not expect to extend their Fulbright funding period. The Fulbright Office has no additional funds beyond the grant period. This is especially important for MA thesis and dissertation students. Thesis/Dissertation: Thesis and Dissertation students must attend at least one of the Dean’s Office Editors’ workshops. The schedule is published in the Bulletin. Graduation and Commencement: In order to graduate, the Assistant Director must certify that you have met all academic requirements. Students will NOT graduate unless Dr. Hall has processed their certifications via DegreeWorks. Make sure that you are periodically checking DegreeWorks. Keep in mind that some of your requirements, however, do not show up on DegreeWorks as completed until very late in the process. Students must apply with the Registrar for graduation. The GPIS office does not apply for them. Students must let the GPIS office know if they intend to walk at commencement (the graduation ceremony). The university maintains a useful webpage with detailed information on graduation and commencement. The GPIS Bulletin is Now on Facebook & Twitter - Join the GPIS Conversation!
